What's that little toolbar you have at the top of your TD window?

Really dope looking project!

ooh sounds promising! I'm not sure I have a good idea of how to implement that, but if you're curious to think up a solution I'd be happy to post my shader code here, it's pretty short!

It does make me wonder, how do people get those infinite fractal zooms to work? If I zoomed into this one any more I'd start hitting the limit for double precision on my value for z, there's gotta be some crazy math sorcery to get around that

yeah I saw that but haven't tried it yet, seems like it'd be worthwhile to mess around and see what I can do with it!

thanks! It is really cool to have an entirely new approach to rendering in 3D, definitely a big paradigm shift to not be working with vertices & triangles anymore

Yeah! This video was super helpful for my understanding, it's basically using ray marching as a way to smoothly approximate where surfaces are, based on the signed distance function of objects in the scene

Honestly gonna talk to my therapist about this lol bc this seems like a lot of fun and I wanna know how I can let myself be ok with participating haha

I wanna force myself to post stupid shit as practice. Nobody I know irl is on this app yet so that’s another inhibition I don’t need to think about for now

I think part of it was that I always viewed my twitter as just another art portfolio, and was hyper cautious to only post art stuff and nothing weird that could make me look unemployable? But now I have a steady job doing what I love so I want to shake that instinct
